Amanda couldn't be sure if Elliot really was the next victim, but she had bad feeling that he was; which was slowly beginning to happen. Yet, no one knew that it took awhile before the victim's death occurred. In fact, the community liked to put them through a certain number of tests beforehand, just to to make sure.

Tonight was the start, as Olivia sat up in bed after hearing the sound of something banging loudly outside. Elliot also heard it as he got up and slipped into a pair of jeans and a top," Stay here," as he grabbed a baseball bat.

Instead Olivia put on her robe and headed downstairs, that's when she heard the sound getting louder. With the storm intensifying outside, Olivia could hear the sound of the thunder rumbling loudly, as she ascended closer to the back door which was wide open.

However, that's when she found his left sneaker lying in the rain on the grass, which made her eyes widened. Olivia knew something bad had happened to Elliot, as she continued to search, even went as far as to call out his undercover name several times; but he never answered.

She then ran back into the house; slamming the door behind before calling Fin. Almost immediately both he and Amanda threw on some clothes before running across the street. She already had a bad feeling what might had happened to him.

Once they arrived, Fin saw how worried Olivia was," What happened?"

" We were lying in bed, and heard the sound of something banging loudly. He told me to stay upstairs as he went downstairs to check it out. When I got down there the backdoor was open and he was gone, there must have been a scuffle because there was only one sneaker lying on the ground."

Amanda's eyes widened, " I think I might know what happened. I overheard a conversation between Lisa and Jen this afternoon. They were talking about a bunch of tests but no names came up. I don't know but I have a hunch that Elliot is being subjected to them."

Olivia feared the worse, " We can't jump to conclusion unless we have proof, with these people anything's possible. I need to find out where they are holding Elliot."

Being undercover they couldn't act like cops, " Time being, we can't search for him. People will get suspicious, we'll stay with you until morning. We'll find him, Liv," Fin said," It's not going to be easy especially given who these people are."

That didn't make Olivia feel any better," Let's not inform the captain, until we find him," which they all agreed to, but all of them knew that needed find the rapist and murderer soon and fast.

In a dark place, Elliot awoke feeling extremely disoriented, and had no idea where he was.

"SIT UP!" an angry voice demanded.

As Elliot sat up, two men were standing in front of him, each wearing dark suits, " Put this one," one of them said, " You have two minutes, do it now!"

Once he had gotten dressed, the men came back into the room," This is for your own good, every man here has undergone these tests. You must obey, and when you do return to your wife; you will not utter a peep of what is happening. Do not question us, until it is proper to do so."

Elliot knew these guys had the power to kill him, he couldn't risk getting killed or having them harm Olivia. He had no other choice to but to obey, while starting to be brainwashed. Yet, inside Elliot disbelieved everything these men were saying without showing it.

In order to get them think that the brainwashing was working, he had to become cold and emotionless. Perhaps this was the only way for him to find out what the secret was. The more Elliot was subjected to verbal brainwashing, the more he started acting like the men.

Every so often they looked straight into his eyes, just to ensure that he wasn't faking. Elliot completely fooled them, to the point that they knew that it was working. However, they didn't let him out until four days later, which by then Ellliot seemed to be a bad mood which was very understandable, but the men didn't sense that.

In fact, once they allowed him to shower and change into another suit; Elliot then followed them down the hall into another room," Our wives know about the council, see we need to ensure that every one that moves in here is up to our standerds. You are over and beyond the standards which is good, not even meets that quota. There are of men who are not on the council, but aren't aware of it."

Elliot glanced around seeing that there were other men that were now seated at a long conference table," So what are we waiting for?"

" For right now, I'll have Eric take you back to your I arrange for your release, you will report to the council meetings everyday from 5pm sharp until 11pm. When you arrive home you will sleep in another bedroom, until the trust here is fully formed. That means not a single word to Rachel about this."

Elliot thought the rules were bizzare, he wasn't going to argue about not sleeping in the same bed as Olivia; but something about this didn't seem right. All the wives knew what was going on, but what if only a few here knew about the rapes and murders? It was plausable but Elliot needed to find out for sure.

Once he was back in the room, he couldn't start searching since the room had a video camera. He made him wonder where it connected to, which could have evidence that the squad needed. For now, Elliot couldn't do anything but instead sit and wait to be brainwashed somemore.

Back at the undercover house, Olivia was beyond worried. She feared the worst and had no idea where Elliot was. Neither did the other neighers or her so called " Friends." In fact both Ashley and Lisa came back with a bottle of wine.

After Ashley got Olivia alone, she exhaled softly," The samething happened to my former husband, haven't been happy since. You know about the council, well it's just a group of men that sit around around plotting things. No one knows what, but the girls and I have a solution. We need to make you look a certain way."

Olivia felt a cold chill rippling down her spine," What are we waiting for?" As much as she didn't want to be transformed into one of them, she knew it was the only thing that could expose the person or persons behind both the rapes and murders. Olivia had to do this, being desperate to find out the truth.

Ashley nodded as she headed back into the other room, where Lisa was, " She agreed."

Olivia was ready," What about Katie?"

" She's not involved, there are a lot of women who aren't. It's not a bad thing, but you Olivia are naturally beautiful. You fit in better than Katie does, in terms of perfection and beauty. Now get your keys , we'll going to head over to Jen's house."

As Olivia followed them outside; her instints were telling her that this was a setup. In fact, she felt it, but backing out would only be worse. She didn't have another choice but to turn into them, however this was just the beginning. Both her and Elliot had no idea that they were far from finding the rapist and murders.
